Here's what I heard...

...last night while working on revisions for "A Ghost of a Chance":

Click here, scroll down and click on the "B Song" for the Eastern Screech Owl.

This is the first one I've ever heard in real life - before, I'd only heard recordings.

If this doesn't make you freeze in your tracks with your hair standing straight up and chills racing down your spine, I don't know what will! Its call is penetrating and LOUD, even though the bird itself is not much bigger than a man's fist.
